PERIWINKLE - CAKE & CUPCAKES.

Three years have passed since i had the pleasure of meeting Rachael....to discuss me creating a Cake....she asked me to make her MIL's Birthday Cake....
Something  in the colour Blue, as this was Dora's favourite colour.

How delighted we were, when this past Sunday my Husband and i were invited to join with Rachael, her family, and Dora's friends to celebrate Dora's 90th Birthday at the Joondalup Country Club.

30 guests gathered for an afternoon of High Tea, fond memories and laughter.... and of course Cake.

Kind words with warmth were what the speech's were filled with... and as i sat and listened i marveled at how wonderful Dora was - a gentle Lady, with a smile that made one feel so welcome. Yes, it was lovely to see her again.   Flowers, Cards and Gifts sat on the Gift Table amongst a beautifully crafted hard cover Book that Rachael and Dora had compiled and had printed, written words and photographs from years gone by - showing and telling of a well traveled joyful  life. A Lady of beauty, with such air and grace.
 

Thank you Rachael for inviting us - it was such a privilege to raise our glass's in honor of such a wonderful Lady. 

Mini Cupcakes sat arranged on the Glass stemmed stands surrounding my small glass vases of White Tulips and Roses - whilst the Birthday cake sat high on a Glass pedestal.  Doily covered chocolates, tied with a white ribbon sat under the large cloche.. whilst delightful little teabags with *For You* tags sat in white cups  - for each guest to take home and enjoy.

Such a pleasure to create such a pretty Cake - for such a Lady.

Thank you Rachael, Martin and Dora.

WEDDING - LARGE WHITE ON WHITE with BLING

I first met Charmaine and her Mother at a Bridal Open Day in the Swan Valley last year.

Friendly, charming and warm personalities is how i would best describe them both.
An absolute joy to meet - and then, over the Months leading to Charmaine's Wedding Day,..  it was an absolute pleasure to work with them both.... 

Many a laugh and friendly moment had, whilst discussing different aspects of the Wedding.

A single tier White on White Wedding Cake is what Charmaine had in mind.....
Adding strings of Bling to bring the whole cake together.

The Cake consisted of  Three x 10 inch Round Cakes ...each  3 inches high
Each cake torted and filled with a Chocolate Ganache - then stacked on top of each other.

Once decorated, the Cake stood an impressive 11 inches high.

Sitting on a 20 inch Round Cake Board - which too was covered in White Fondant and decorated to show off the Cake perfectly....decorated with hundreds of tiny white flowers and small white Butterflies....and this sat atop my 22 inch Round Silver Plateau Cake Stand....

Small Cupcakes - again, White on White - with some being dusted with soft Purple, which was to match the flowers on the Cake table....some sitting under the little Glass domes...others grouped on the silver Cakes stands.

Standing alongside the Wedding Cake were Three Mini  Brandied Fruit Cakes -
Covered and decorated to match the main Wedding Cake.
